Explain the factors that increase the rate of a reaction.

For molecules to react with each other, they need to react frequently with the correct speed, enough energy and in the correct direction. An increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of molecul...

Using your knowledge of periodicity and atomic structure, why does the first ionisation energy decrease moving down a group yet increase moving along a period in the periodic table?

Moving down a group means that the shielding of the outer electrons is increased due to the greater number of inner electron shells within the atom - these are between the nucleus and the outer electrons....

Explain the shapes of the molecules NH3 and AlCl3 (using diagrams)

Covalent molecules come in all shapes and sizes, depending on pairs of electrons in the outer shell, which repel each other due to their negative charge....

Why does the first ionisation energy of atoms generally increase across a period?

The first ionisation energy is defined as the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from each atom of a mole of gaseous atoms. As we go along a period in the periodic table, the atomic number in...
